Provide Maximum Patient Comfort During Head and Neck Radiotherapy Treatments
Soft, durable cushioned tape molds easily around cut edges of thermoplastic masks
Many of those diagnosed with head or neck cancer will undergo radiation therapy.
To prevent accidental movement and prevent irradiation to healthy tissue, some patients may be fitted with a thermoplastic mask to wear during the course of their treatment.
During the course of treatment, which may be as long as 8 weeks, some patients' masks are cut due to swelling and tightness, anxiety and claustrophobia, sensitive skin, or to enable the use of bite blocks, bolus, or electron fields.

Dosimetric properties of TenderTouch
The effects on surface dose of TenderTouch foam adhesive material is minimal and could be ignored in most clinical situations. In particular, the incremental change in surface dose for this material relative to the effect of the thermoplastic is not considered clinically significant in most foreseeable situations.

Patients have the ability to withstand the mask for longer periods of time
"TenderTouch allows for more comfort against a tight mask," she says. "The cut edges are sometimes sharp. It’s especially helpful when there is swelling in the area and the mask presses very tightly against the skin. Patients have the ability to withstand the mask for longer periods of time."
